TO ALL WHOM I'l.4 MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, CHARLES C. JOHNSON, of Springfield, in the county of Windsor, and State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful iinprovement in Machines for KnmidingDough and Making Pastry; and I Vhereby decla-re that the following isa full, clear, and exact description'ot` the same, reference heilig had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- 4 Fig-ure 1 is a perspective view, and

Figure 2 is a` longitudinal vertical section.

I employ the samelletters in both gures in the indication of identical parts.

A is a smooth board or top of a table, having a plane face, to which is attached a revolving standard, B, turning freely on its axis B. Near the upper ehd of this standard a slot is out through it to receive the lever passing through it.V The upper side of the lever is rounded, and bears, when pressed upward in use,ragainst a grooved friction-roller, B', placed in the slot through the standard C. The end of the lever is finished as a handle. To the under side of the lever is attached the cross-piece D, on each end of which themetallie strips E are permanently attached, having holes near their lower ends to form bearings for the journals of the, roller F, which is placed immediately below the cross-piece D. The lower side of the'cross-pieee D is grooved to correspond with the curve of the roller, andso as to leave sharp edges on each side. The roller is placed close to this cross-piece, and the sharp edges of the latter serve to clean olf any dough which may adhere to the roller. The lever and rollermay be turned to any part of the table' as ythe standard Bl revolves upon its own axis; The back side of the slot in the standard is bevelled, so as to be lower than the front side on the bottom thereof', thus providing a. free vertical play to the roller, which may be raised anddepressed,-or moved laterally, as desired. A olea-t, C', 4on the end of lever C, prevents the handle from being withdrawn from the standard. One or more rollers may be used. i

By the foregoing arrangement of parts the roller and bearerA may be used for kneading the dough, and then in rolling it into suitable` sheets for use.

What I cla-im as new in my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the revolving standard B, lever C, and one or more rollers F, and. cross-pieces D, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination ot the cross-piece D, when formed to act as a scrapennnd-the roller F, when attached to a lever, C, operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
